ErrorException in Filesystem.php - Permission denied

Question

I am trying to access my Laravel application on my local machine and am receiving the following error when accessing any pages:

ErrorException in Filesystem.php line 109: file_put_contents(/4d76273a26d1b0fbe2c62bffa1ba6fb5ec8c358b.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied

I have tried running chmod -R 0777 storage on my storage directory, while this is updated no changes take affect on the Laravel app.

Can someone advise how I can fix this?

Edit:

Added debug log

Answer 1

I resolved the issue:

The problem was because the following directories were missing:
- storage/framework/cache
- storage/framework/views

creating these and setting appropriate permissions resolved the issue

Answer 2

I am running my app in the cloud, however I was experiencing the same issues.

For me, I did not set the right permissions, following solved my problem:
sudo chgrp -R www-data storage bootstrap/cache
and
sudo chmod -R ug+rwx storage bootstrap/cache
